I think it upsets me not just because of the implications for popular sovereignty, but also because I can easily imagine how (rightfully) outraged we would be if sensitive budget negotiations had Nancy Pelosi saying she couldn’t do anything until she’d been in touch with Oprah

A weird upshot of this is that calling your rep to complain about a provision in a bill might be the way that they learn the provisions is there 🤯🤯

Did you know that someone who's recently registered to vote is more likely to vote that same year than most people? So far, I've helped 5 @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social #1 supporters register. Since 1 out of 10 aren't registered, you probably know someone too. Send them this: zohranfornyc.com/vote

Discursively it's not clear to me why a Palestinian would ever privilege the Zionism of the Jewish diaspora over the Zionism of the actually existing state of Israel when discussing what Zionism has done to Palestinians

The man who attacked a gathering of Jews in Boulder is an antisemitic criminal, but the collective punishment of going after his entire family is absolutely not something we should accept as a valid response. This is wrong. We need to reject it.

They want to make human contact, human thought, and human insight into luxury goods — to treat thought work as disposable. They see thought workers like the operators who would plug wires into sockets once, before businesses made it near-impossible to speak to a human.

I used to have this policy that whenever I got drawn into a pointless argument with someone about Israel-Palestine I would break the loop by just posting a place where people could donate to help Palestinians. Feels like I should bring that back! Let's start with Palestinian Children's Relief Fund

The way people are talking about the current demolition of research funding and HE legitimacy reminds me of the early days of COVID when I (and others) said it would be at least six years before any normalcy. Rage, despondency, rejection…eventually voting for a dictator just to feel alive.

"The legacies of radical thought are not yours to cosplay. We’ve buried mentors and friends who gave everything to this work. They held coalitions together across race, religion, class, and creed... They did not sacrifice so you could embrace nihilism." Incredible, by @bulldogshadow.bsky.social.

It’s pretty simple. If you don’t want your policy blocked in court, don’t break the law.

I wonder how similar or different these crowds today are from the crowds 170 years ago that blocked slave catchers from kidnapping Black people in free states during the fugitive slave act era

I really think the extraordinary hatefulness of Republic rhetoric - this is the second time today I’ve seen a Republican calling for a citizen to be renditioned - and the escalation of political violence action from the assassination attempts on Trump to Luigi to the embassy shootings

I've said it before, but what pisses me off the most in the ongoing trans-girls-in-sports culture war/hysteria is the implication that even if they deign to allow us to participate in society, we must never be allowed to excel.
